This car is made by Toyota and they've been keeping it on the downlow for some time now. Its`s bit funky but I kind of like it. Their will be lots of support to mod this. Starting at $14K.

Although they look a little funky, Scion has given all the top manufactuers a demo vehicle so they could build mods for it. Is the US ready for this popular car from Japan?
